October Vow - Completed...

After spending most of the weekend frantically tidying and squeezing friends in, I managed to make some time to complete the squad of terminators that go with the Land Raider from the previous post. So without much ado photos of said terminators:
Terminator with Lightning Claws:


Terminator with Thunderhammer & Storm Shield:



Terminator Sergeant with Chainfist. This wasn't originally my candidate for the sergeant until I double checked the codex and realised that I can't substitute a heavy flamer for the sergeant's storm bolter. D'oh!



Another Terminator with Lightning Claws:


Terminator with Heavy Flamer:




Finally, a quick couple of group shots of the unit:




Now to think about November's oath.. probably will do another unit of terminators and a land raider crusader..

October Vow - Half finished!

Finally finished the Land Raider. For some reason the detailing on tanks always takes me forever. What I thought would be an hour or two at most at the weekend turned into a progressive series of details and fix-ups from where I'd errantly put black paint or bone paint for about 4 or 5 hours. Nevertheless, along with an hour or so last night, the Land Raider is complete. I'm not sure about the lascannons, so please comment/feedback on bolterandchainsword.com with your thoughts.

October Vow - Work in Progress

Have been making good in-roads on this! So far the tank and all terminators have been base coated and painted with Rakarth Flesh and then washed down with Gryphonne Sepia wash and then drybrushed over the top to get the colour right. So far so good. A few WIP photos below of the terminators:



and lastly two of my Land Raider.



I figure that for November I'll do the same again and then leave myself with a Venerable Dreadnought or something small but meaty in December.

Path to Redemption - October vow.. Part 1

So with September behind me and my vow successfully completed (see below for pictures) I've decided to paint up a unit of Deathwing Terminators and finish off the Land Raider I've started for my October vow. I figure by working on reasonable targets I'll get through the painting challenge over the course of the next 5 months.

December will be the toughest month as I'm away mid-month through to January, so attempting something achievable will be the key. Likely I'll just put together another Deathwing unit as they are relatively simple to put together and I seem to be able to churn them out pretty quickly and to good standard.
